HAWKESBURY INDOOR STADIUM— INDIVIDUAL MULTI SPORTS PLAYER INSURANCE DETAILS

• All multi sports players registering in our competition will need to complete an Individual Multi Sports Player Insurance Information Form before taking the court for their first game.

• The insurance fee is valid for the length of one season only. Each player needs to complete an individual registration form at the start of each season before participating. (September – February & March - August)

• Insurance cannot be claimed if the injury/incident is not reported at the time of the incident.

• Insurance is brokered by Arthur J Gallagher for Indoor Sports NSW.

• Indoor Sports NSW has arranged this insurance program to provide benefits to those registered participants of Indoor Sports NSW participating Centres who, through injury or accident, incur financial loss and who would otherwise not have received assistance. The program seeks to provide benefits to those most exposed and to maintain protection at the lowest possible cost. It therefore cannot provide 100% cover or a benefit for every loss that occurs. Federal Government Legislation prevents insurance companies from paying any insurance benefit for a medical service that is covered by Medicare. This legislation also applies to the Medicare gap. In addition to these policies all participants are encouraged to take out Private Health Insurance.
